Stupid Sexy Flanders: One of the greatest ‘Simpsons’ jokes is a video game meme in its own right

In the year 2000, The Simpsons had just crossed over from its golden age (arguably season’s three through nine) into the slog toward mediocrity that continues to this day. Even so, the series was still capable of producing some gems. Stupid Sexy Flanders, a joke from season 11 episode “Little Big Mom” is one of those gems, and in the years since it’s become an inescapable piece of the internet meme landscape.

So it should come as no surprise that there’s a sizable crossover between the memedoms of Stupid Sexy Flanders and video games. Still, when I went searching for examples after creating a meme of my own for another article, I wasn’t expecting such a wealth of options.

It turns out video game fans have been churning out their own creations for years — and they’re all gold.

It didn’t seem fair to keep these memes to myself. And, on that note, here’s a quick survey of some of the best Stupid Sexy Flanders video game mashups from around the web.

Stupid Sexy Waluigi ... and other variations

This was one of the first Stupid Sexy Flanders video game memes I found, but it’s still one of my favorites. Who can blame Rosalina for lusting after Mario villain and sometimes tennis partner Waluigi?
